Description: An extremely short piece (just 30 seconds long), it was likely notated by his father, Leopold Mozart, since Wolfgang was five years old at the time. It was written for the harpsichord and is hence usually performed on the harpsichord, though other keyboard instruments may be used. This minuet is in Mozart's first collection of works, and his first extant piece in minuet form. As a minuet it is, by definition, stately in feel and written in 3/4 time. It is clearly influenced by the work of Johann Sebastian Bach, and could even be described as late Baroque in style. It comprises several phrases each beginning with chords, after which broken chords and triplets are used.
